Irra takes a breath, then begins singing; a low-pitched sound that vibrates deep from her belly with a hard time. One-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three.
To eliminate his frustration, Arvaldo will fill in with a little harmony. Not that it'll help - he doesn't have any magic techniques.
Irra: Yes, 50% for attacks, but without seeing you cannot target spells.
Rogard: Yeah, you can't be pure illusionist at high levels, it falls flat. You need to double up with something. I find necromancy to do well complementing it.
Gale will take another free shot after Aramus strikes the devil!
Gale will unleash another volley of arrows at the squid lady, feeling inspired by Irra
confirming crit on attack3
if so then add an additional
First three hit. You also confirm.
Gale kills the Squid Lady. Combat over.
He'll take a moment to finish off the measure with Irra before looking over everything. "Well, this seems to be an interesting room." he says with glee. "Let me do a once-around for traps first, then we'll check everything. Since this is made by wizards, there may be clues to help us."
There are no traps.
The alchemical apparatuses here contain various humors, organic acids, rather than the normal alchemical compounds you would normally expect.
"It seems I have underestimated the challenge we face here." Rogard notes on the battle at hand not at all pleased with himself.After contemplating on the matter for a while he changes his form to that of a octopuss. "I think we announced our presence so it had time to prepare. I am going to look a bit further before the spell runs out. If anyone is tagging along now would be the time."
Rogard looks over the door in the hall over before opening it and slipping in trying to avoid detection to best of his abilities.

Rogue had a magic belt, magic sword and magic leather armor.
Also searching the room you find a spell book which looks a lot like the one described to you by the crazy mage in the library.
Two summoning circles dominate this high-ceilinged room. A pair of stairways flank a set of double doors on the east wall, each leading to a balustraded balcony overlooking the open central floor beneath.
Knowledge planes and religion (two different critters).
They are arguing in some language you don't know.
Gale will check on the group to make sure everyone is ok
that was tough, we have done well to vanquich that foul beast
Gale will join Rogard, mainly to keep an eye one him
she will quickly go in, take note of the situation then come back to the group.
Rogard waits for an opportune moment before slipping back in, though moving before his invisibility is about to run out. Assuming he is succesful he will share his findings with rest of the group.
Critter 1: This dry, hovering corpse's chest is a prison of jagged ribs, within which is trapped a small tormented ghostly form.
Critter 2: rom the tip of its lashing tail to the serrated features of its fang-filled visage, this fiery-eyed sentinel bristles with barbs.
Ok no probs gale will wait for Rogard to come back
Rogard explains everyone what he saw, clearly little concerned about the summoning circles. The dwarf tries his best to describe every detail of the creatures in question hoping that someone else might find that enough to know what they are up against.
from the post where you got blinded:
Power Word Blind on Irra. She is blind for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 rounds.
I'm pretty sure you can scroll back too.
Irra listens to Rogard's description and frowns.
Irra takes the found loot, does a basic search for auras for safety then stows it away.
The items are all harmless (well the sword is a weapon after all, but not harmful to the wielder).
+2 keen short sword
+2 dex belt
+3 leather armor
From the description, you figure the two are a barbed devil and a devourer.
You are reasonably familiar with both (4 questions on each).
"Well, let's hear what they are talking about." he says softly and creeps to the door to listen. As he floats over to the door, he fades from view.
I will whisper that to the group. "If we're all ready, we should be able to catch them by surprise"
Rogard replies in lowered voice. "Perhaps we should move back a bit for a moment to make sure they do not hear spell casting? I would like to prepare for the coming fight."
"Good idea. I'll keep listening and let you know when they're done arguing." he whispers. You see a silk handkerchief emerge from nothing and hover in the air.
Aramus joins the others in the hall, readying for another battle. He checks over Ilia's gear, but failing to see anything of great interest, he only buckles the short sword to the back of his belt, out of the way of his movement. Just a trophy.
Gale prepares for the battle by casting beast of ill omen on her familiar then casting fortune on all the party members.
Beast of ill omen will bane the first creature within 60ft that see's it.(dc 21 will)
Fortune lets everyone roll 2 d20's and take the highest. you can do this for 2 rounds and gale can "Cackle" to extend it for 1 round.
So basically that will be the last thing she does before we kick in the door.
Fortune is a hex which at your level lasts 2 rounds. Hexes take 1 round to cast and affect 1 target. There is no way to hit multiple targets at once. In theory you could take 5 rounds and hex each while cackling, but then the first few people will lose the hex as soon as you stop cackling. Only the last person will get 3 rounds, second to last will get 2.
The cackling is also not quiet.
Rogard moves a bit further to make his preperations before moving back near the door readying himself to pounce into the room the moment the door is opened.

Need someone to decide to open the door (and sort out who, if anyone, actually gets fortune).
cackle is a move action, also action economy is only a thing in combat.
but if you want to go down that road then I will fortune, Rogard and Aramus.
then cackle so rogard will have 1 round and aramus will have 2.

As soon as you cast buffs with durations, durations matter. There's no road I'm going down.
OK, who's opening the door? People probably should get arranged on the map.
If no one else will do it, Arvaldo will open the door. He will be invisible and floating near the top of the door as he opens it.
We'll have Arvaldo open it. The door opens to reveal:
Two summoning circles dominate this high-ceilinged room. A pair of stairways flank a set of double doors on the east wall, each leading to a balustraded balcony overlooking the open central floor beneath.
Devourer: This dry, hovering corpse's chest is a prison of jagged ribs, within which is trapped a small tormented ghostly form.
Barbed Devil: rom the tip of its lashing tail to the serrated features of its fang-filled visage, this fiery-eyed sentinel bristles with barbs.
Init time.
No surprise round here.
5 questions and 3 respectively.
Devourer- undead (not a typical devourer)
Strongly resistant to all energy types
Immune as normal for undead
Special attacks: energy drain, devour soul,
spell like abilities (lots): necromantic or mind affecting
Weak save: reflex
Barbed Devil -evil outsider(again not typical).
resistance : strongly resistant to cold, elec, acid
Immune: fire, poison
special attacks: fear, impale
Irra calls out what she remembers about each creature.
Need inits for Aramus and Mi'al.
